Hello, my name is William. I just made an account and am curious about what is required of a proof listener. I listen to audio books while at work and thought this might be a good opportunity to help out the open source/domain free community. Any info would be appreciated
Thanks!

Welcome to LibriVox Xof Spades! It is neat of you to volunteer. We always need proof listeners. At first some things may seem a bit confusing. Be patient; everything will clear up eventually. I've made a little video to welcome people and share a few things that I think are nice to know about us at the start of your adventure. Ask lots of questions, we are a helpful bunch here and want VERY much for you to succeed. https://youtu.be/mwtn_2d3_qs

Hi XofSpades.

Welcome.

Some more info on Prooflistening can be found at the links below:

FAQ for Prooflisteners


You would need to be able to stop when listening and make a note of the time in the recording and what needed to be fixed. If that is something you can do while working then we always can use more prooflisteners!

Hi! I also love proof listening. Since starting with Librivox, I have loved every aspect of this volunteer work. Here is the link to the proof listening instructions viewtopic.php?f=61&t=17680
